When I went with family, we were treated to some of the most exceptional service and food I've ever had. The foie gras appetizer is to die for, make sure you combine the figs that they serve with it and you will feel like you're in heaven. My filet mignon was cooked perfectly, and so were everyone else's steaks. Make sure to try the truffled creamed spinach as a side!

It is hard for me to believe that many of these reviews are not merely negative, but nasty. I have seen Strip House evolve over the nine years of its existence. It has gone from a very good steak house to an excellent restaurant. We had dinner there last night with three friends and had a superb meal with great service. When I was picking a Burgundy to go along with the steaks, the restaurants manager/sommelier suggested another choice at a lower price. The plateau of cold shellfish ( oysters, shrimp, alaskan king crab, lobster, oysters, tuna tatare, ceviche of bay scallops) was the equal if not better than any I have ever experienced, here or in France. Appetizers of torchon of foie gras, toast with gorganzola sauce were superb. Steaks cooked perfectly. Sides of goose fat potatoes, fries, and the best creamed spinach on the planet were beyond great. Twenty-one layer cake and baked Alaska were over the top. With wine, any great steak house will cost $100-125 per person - as did our dinner. The place is great. Amities Gourmandes, ally's dad

I've heard from a bunch of people that this is the best steakhouse in the city. It is not even in the top tier. Lugers, Wolfgangs, Keens, Ben&Jacks, etc are much better. The steak is ok, the sides are not so good. The service is very poor.

The sever had a better holier than thou attitude and generally not polite. At an average of $100 per person one would except top shelf here. Compared to standards set by NYC's other steakhouses, the place was shoddy and run down with the decor thrown together haphazardly. Not the job of a professional interior designer but someone who had an "idea". The nonstop clicking of the pen in our faces when taking orders and general disrespectfulness was topped with an indignant "I have been going to steakhouses since I was 18" when asked why their lighter weight strip cost more than their heavier weight rib eye. I guess because it was the "Strip" steak in the Strip House. The NY strip was plain burnt, eh hem... "charred" on the outside, passable on the inside. The wild mushroom side was overpowered with salt. The gourmet brownie was passable. Yet another place that pretends to be a top tier steakhouse and charges the prices to match but falls a mile short of understanding what it takes to be such. Not worth the trip.

Went here to celebrate our first anniversary, and we were pleased for the most part. The room is straight out of a 20's cabaret club - dark red, dimly lit, oozing old-school class and intrigue. Was very pleased with the wine list and menu, though the list of afterdinner drinks could have been more comprehensive. We had the sea scallop and bacon for appetizers, and both were good if not earth-shattering. The ribeye for 2 was delicious and nicely prepared, with just the right amount of seasoning and buttery goodness. My one complaint seems to be a common one - the service constantly rushed us. With the prices they charge, I was hoping for something a bit better than the happy-hour bum's rush that one would expect at a bar and grill. I asked our server to calm it down a bit, and for the most part, he complied. In short, great meal, great atmosphere, but the constant feeling of being rushed was annoying and seems to be a recurring theme at Strip House.

I get to New York about 3-4 times a year to spend time with my sons who work in New York. We have allways made at least one of our dinners together on each of my visits at the Strip House and have spent pretty heavily on our dinners there. It has been our tradition for each of us to buy an expensive bottle of wine and take them with us to the Strip House. We had never objected to their corkage fees. When I visted NYC over the 2008 Christmas holidays, we brought several bottles of excellent wine with us as we always have. When we were seated, the waiter told us the Strip House had adopted a new policy--no outside wine. We asked him to kindly speak to the manager and to tell the manager we were unaware of the new policy; that we had brought our wines with us and that he should charge us whatever corkage fees he thought were reasonable. The waiter came back and said the manager was not on the premises but he was told by whomever he talked to that the new policy was --no outside wine--and absolutely no exceptions. It was too late for us to switch restuarants at the last moment, so we ordered dinner but did not order any wine. The restuarant and the waiter missed out on the corkage the restaurant could have charged us , which would have been at least the same amount as if an additional person had been in our party and had ordered appetizers, dinner and dessert and and left a tip. The Strip House is shooting itself in the foot. In this tough economy, it should accommodate its customers. Instead its penny wise and pound foolish policy cost it lost revenue from us that night and has cost them our future business as we will find a more accomodating restuarant for my future visits. I might be low on the ratings I give on Food Quality, etc. but the entire way I view the Strip House changed after that night and I don't look upon it as I once did.

My boss invited my husband and i here for a congratulatory meeting on my new promotion. We made reservations. My boss was running late so when we arrived to confirm our reservations we were treated rather rudely. I explained to them the situation and they even spoke to my boss on the phone (unecessarily). They would not seat us until my boss arrived. Food arrived quickly but i was not impressed. Even my boss could not finish his overcooked steak. The garlic bread was dripping with grease. The garlic fries were undercooked and too buttery tasting. Our waiter hovered over us. As quick as the plates came they disappeared. Now this is all on a tuesday evening and it was empty. We felt rushed. We attempted to address some issues with the manager but was told he was not on the premises. If you like mediocre food and hurried service please feel free to go here.
